Misguided views

Say what?

What car made in
America car is faster,
the Chevy Camaro or
the Nissan Ouest
GXE? Sounds like the
dumbest question
ever, right? Of
course the Camaro is
faster. It could
probably beat the
Guest in the quarter
mile in reverse. The
Camaro is the wrong
answer though. It's
an import, so the
Quest is actually the
faster of the
domestics.

The Chrysler 300M vs.
the Acura 3.2TL? You
guessed it. The
Chrysler is the
import and the Acura
is the domestic.

The EPA is the authority
in classifying origin
or cars as imports or
domestics. To be in
the later group, the
car must consist of
at least 75 percent
North American
content. So these
cars may be
domestics, but they
are still made in
Canada (Camaro) or
Mexico (Chrysler
Sebring).

Other interesting facts,
the BMW Z3 and
Mercedes-Benz
ML3ZO are both
made in the United
States. The Mazda
626 and the Honda
Accord Coupe are
also domestics!

Students incensed over safety of the streets

By Tasha Iiarris
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Are roads around UK safe?

That’s the question right now.
as the campus has experienced
three accidents in the last four
days. Out of these three accidents.
one student died.

As a result, students are ques-
tioning whether roads surround
ing campus are safe, especially for
disabled students.

“If you look around (Holmes
Hall), there is no place for wheel-
chairs to get where they need to
go," said Chuck Combs. an unde»
clared freshman.

After students heard about the
death of sociology senior Stanley
McGowan, 38. earlier this week,
many have become more cautious
when they cross the street.

Jake Kames, director of the

Disability Resource Center, has
noticed a difference in disabled
students making decisions about
crossing the street.

Before McGowan‘s accident.
he saw several students cross
wherever they wanted. A few days
ago, he noticed a couple of students
taking the extra time to cross at
the light.

Several students are calling
for the University to help mo-
torists realize North Campus is a
high—traffic area for disabled.

“They need to make it aware
to drivers that (Holmes Hall) is a
zone that‘s traveled heavily by
people in wheelchairs,“ Combs
said.

“Its not very safe to cross
through (Holmes Hall) because you
have to cross three or four lanes of
traffic," said David Fiser, a social
work graduate student.

A similar accident happened
in the same area on South Lime-
stone about 10 years ago. also in-
volving a student in a wheel-
chair.

After the accident, UK admin-
istrators held several meetings on
campus with city officials.

These discussions led to
putting a crosswalk near Holmes.
and removing a portion of the
parking spots around that area.
Karnes said.

Lowering the speed limit was
also discussed as a means of mak-
ing the area safer.

“People from the City said
streets come with a natural speed
limit, and if you lower the speed.
you would have to keep a police-
man out there at all times," Karnes
said.

“It‘s a fun way to

The team of Alpha Xi

The next race. the

Options plentiful
for students
filing their taxes

Tele-file, EZ, whatever - the resources are
there when trying to meet April 15 deadline

By Robert Ouan
CONTRIBUTING WRlTER

As the saying goes, there
are only two absolutes in
life: death and taxes. And
tax day, April 15. is quickly
approaching.

But. there are new ways
to file. several resources avail-
able to obtain tax forms. and
places to get help. said Dan
Boone, communications spee
cialist for the Internal Rev
enue Service.

Forms can be downloaded
from the IRS website. and it
will also fax or mail out
forms, Brown said.

Students can also take ad-
vantage of several locations
that provide free tax prepara-
tion assistance. ()n campus.
the IRS Volunteer Income
Tax Assistance Program can
assist students with their tax:
es from 4 pm. to 6 pm. in 113
Student Center Tuesdays and
Thursdays.

Boone said students can
also go to the local IRS branch
office to get forms and tax as»
sistance.

Boone recommends stu-
dents take advantage of the
IRS Tole-file system.

“It allows you to file by
phone 247." he said. “It only
takes about 10 minutes and it
is probably the best way to
file.“

Daniel Boone, an arts ad»
ministration sophomore. pre-
pares his own taxes. He used
the TeIe-file system last year.

"It's really pretty easy.”
he said. “You just read ofT all
your information. I don‘t
make enough money to get
into all of the complicated
stuff."

For some students. the
easiest thing to do is just
give their tax forms to their
parents.

“I wouldn't know what i
was doing." said Jessica Bev-
erage. a market management
junior. “T just hand every-
thing to my dad and he does
them."

Amy Foster. an unde.
clared sophomore. also gives
her forms to her parents.

“I would probably just
mess it up." Foster said. “That
stuff just confuses me."

The Low-down

Dow gains 191.52

NEW YORK Stocks rallied hard today af-
ter two days of weak performance. boosted by he
nign economic data. strong retail sales reports
and higher oil prices. At the close of trading on
Wall Street. the Dow Jones industrial average
was up 191.52 at 9,467.40, near the day‘s high. The
blue-chip index more than erased the 48-point
loss over the previous two sessions and ended
above 9.400 for the first time in more than a
week. NYSE advancers led decliners 1,717-1,187
The Nasdaq ended at 2.29304 points. up 27.84.

GDP leaders 0K budget framework

WASHINGTON . Republican congressional
leaders agreed today on a framework for the fis~
cal 2000 budget that they said would prevent So-
cial Security surpluses from being used for tax
cuts. and would stick to spending limits enacted
two years ago.

The GOP plan would also allow for a tax cut
that would begin next year. just as the presiden-
tial and congressional election campaigns are un-
der way. But next year‘s tax reduction would
likely be relatively small because lawmakers
would have to find savings and new revenues to
pay for them.

Noriega's sentence reduced

MIAMI -— A federal judge reduced Manuel
Noriega’s prison sentence from 40 years to 30 to
day. meaning the former Panamanian dictator
could be eligible for release by 2007. Noriega, 62.
captured after the United States invaded Panama
in 1989, was sent to prison for money laundering
and drug trafficking.

The judge said he shortened Noriega’s sen-
tence after considering the nature of his confine-
ment and the “disparity between the defen-
dant’s sentence and the sentences served by his
co-conspirators" some of whom are out of
prison.

Judge throws out abortion law

NEW ORLEANS A federal judge today
struck down a Louisiana law aimed at banning
the late-term procedure known as partial birth
abortion. The law‘s supporters said it outlawed
the procedure doctors call dilation and extrac-
tion. but US. District Judge Thomas Porteous
sided with those who said the law could be inter.
preted more broadly.

Opponents said the law would have out—
lawed all abortions because it forbade any abor-
tion performed once any part of a fetus enters
the birth canal.

No meetings have been
announced in the wake of Mc—
Gowan’s death and two other
students who were injured in
the last two days.

Disabled students aren't
the only ones concerned with
safety on campus. Others have
also grown more concerned
with the safety of roads on
campus.

“Students have to jeopar-
dize their life to go across the
street." said Cheylin Schrock.
an undeclared freshmen.

Some students think if
UK officials would put a
crosswalk near Holmes,
crossing in that area would
be safer. said Laura Sti-
panowich. a classics. history
and English freshman.

Caution on the part of
drivers and students is most
important. said Kevin Mil-
net. a political science
sophomore.

“(Drivers need) to go a lot
slower than what the speed
limit says." Milnet said. "You
have to be really observant.
You can’t check your buttons
on your radio. you can’t look
at anything else, because there
are always people crossing."

compared with the next one,
said Amanda Walker. a hospi—
tality management sopho-
more in Delta Gamma.

The sailor strip was a re-
lay in which swimmers had
to wear a sweatshirt. then
take it off to pass on to the
next swimmer.

“After first lap, the sweat
shirts are soaked. and it's so
hard to swim," Walker said.

Angela Barre. a kinesiolo-
gy freshman in Pi Beta Phi.
said her teammates from Al-
pha Gamma Rho and Kappa
Alpha worked out a system.

“We‘d lean over and hold
out our arms.” she said. “Two
people would pull the shirt off
you and slide it on to the next
person."

The fourth race. what
many called the most difficult.
was the candle relay. in which
each half of a lap had to be

completed without extin-
guishing the flame.

Needless to say. many
swimmers had to start their
runs more than once.

David Daniel. an unde-
clared sophomore in Alpha
Gamma Rho, experienced
firsthand the physical de-
mands of the candle relay.

“About two-thirds of the
way through, I got a cramp in
my leg and had to turn
around to swim," Daniel said.

Which gave Daniel’s team
a disadvantage, he said. Re-
layers figured out the best
way to swim that race was on
one’s back. so that the candle
could be held high and the
free hand could protect the
flame from the wind.

“And no splashing »— kick
underwater.“ Barre said. re-
vealing her team‘s secret.

The event also featured a
relay in which two swimmers
pushed a “mermaid” in a raft.

What happens when you
mix traditional bluegrass musi-
cians with a bass player with a
long career in funk?

You get The Groovegrass

and Bootsy Collins. among oth~

Some of you might not be
too familiar with some of these
names. Rouse is a producer.
musician and the mastermind
behind Groovegrass music and
Groovegrass Records.

Wiseman was an original
member of Flatts and Scruggs'
“Foggy Mountain Boys." and
later went on to play with Bill
Monroe. the father of bluegrass
music. as a member of his

Watson, although blind

for himself playing bluegrass.
country and western swing mu-
sic. recording albums with such
artists as Chet Atkins and
Flatts and Scruggs.

Last. but certainly not
least. there is the eccentric
Bootsy Collins. who has played
bass with the “Godfather of

George Clinton in Parlia-
ment/Funkadelic. and in his
own band.

While some may shudder at
the thought of such a collabora-
tion. the project comes off
rather well.

Most of the album is com-
prised of bluegrass standards
with a few originals and a blues
song thrown in.

Of the three original songs
on the disc. two are more like
segues than actual song. the
other original. “Howdy." is
one of the low—points of the al-
bum.

The sample from Minnie
Pearl. who‘s best remembered
as the old lady from “Hee Haw"
with the price tag still on her
hat. wears thin after about the
second “howdy."

The combination of the
banjos. square dance lyrics and

This atmosphere is recreat-
ed later on the disc in “Salty
Dog Blues." the difference be-
tween the two being that this
track is not quite as irritating
and annoying.

Perhaps the best song off
the CD though is “Little Cabin
on the Hill.“ a well-known Monv
roe number.

This version of the song is
not the most traditional version
of the song you‘ll ever bear. but

Bootsy's “space bass" and vo-
cals.

Some of the other tracks
worth listening to include
“Wabash Cannonball." Bill
Monroe's “Blue Moon of Ken
tucky." and “Walkin‘ After
Midnight." made famous by
Patsy Cline.

The (ID ends with the most
traditional sounding track oil‘
the album. the Carter Family‘s
“Stand By Me.”

If you are a bluegrass

bum.

But if you have more mod
ern tastes. and maybe have
been a little curious about blue
grass music. you might want to
take a listen.

lt decently mixes new with
old. giving you a feel of true
bluegrass by some of its mas

ters. along with a nice taste of

Bootsy.

A college's
best friend

Labrador remembered as a fixture to
many students in architecture school

By Pat Clem
ASSISTANT NEVIS EDITOR

The College of Archi-
tecture has lost its most de-
voted student.

"He spent hours in the
library everyday,“ said
Faith Harders, the Librari-
an in Pence Hall. “Every-
body loved him.“

Arapaho was his
name. and Frisbee fetch-
ing was his game. The
black Labrador died of
lymphatic cancer on Feb.
11 at the age of 8.

The pooch won the
hearts of many within the
college. and without.

“He was awe-
some." said Dana
Motley, an architec.
ture senior. “He was
just a cool dog. There
was somethinga about
him."

The unofficial
mascot of the college
spent his days loafing
around Pence Hall.
His owners. Keith
Plymale and Carol
Buhrman, are professors at
the college and brought
him to class almost daily
for eight years

"At first he couldn‘t
even climb the stairs.“ Ply-
maie said.

“He excelled at Fris-
bee. carousing and intelli-
gent and timely commen-
tary," said Buhrman. an
assistant professor.

Arapaho was named
after the Arapaho Indians.
Plymale said. “I always re-
spected the Arapaho, they
held their ground and
stuck to their beliefs.“

And Arapaho held his
ground also. through
unique ways of expressing
himself.

“Whenever someone
would start to get long-
winded. Arapaho would let
out a big yawn, almost to
let them know," said Ply-
male, the director of Un-
dergraduate Studies at the
college. “I guess eight
years of college makes you
pretty smart."

The dog also had amaz-
ing abilities to make friends

 

Arapaho

and to break stereotypes.

“The man that delivers
mail to this building asked
for him by name," Harders
said. It was an atypical ex-
ample of a mailman-dog re-
lationship.

“He always made my
day," said Mike Howard,
who delivers mail to the ar-
chitecture library as part
of his duties in Library Ad-
ministrative Services.
"You couldn’t go by him
without rubbing him, he
was a good dog.”

But
